The Truth About Keto: Is it Safe for Your Kidneys?

The Truth About Keto: Is it Safe for Your Kidneys?

Did you know that the keto diet may help certain types of kidney disease? For this week's video I have a lot of new information to share about the ketogenic diet and other low carb diets and how they affect the kidneys.

Since I made that last video some of the science has changed and this week we are going to dive into the new data. So today I am going to go over that very question and also talk about kidney stones and the keto diet and I am even going to share an outstanding recipe for a Tuna Tonnato Dressing, which is keto friendly and absolutely delicious.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
